It’s Garry Shandling’s Shows…

A lot is not known about Garry Shandling. The most imprtant thing being that he is a genius and a true pioneer of comedy. There are the comedies before “The Larry Sanders Show” and the comedies after “The Larry Sanders Show”. His top-rated, award-winning show about the trials, tribulations, and double- dealing that goes on behind the scenes of a latenight talk show, a parody of the talk shows, broke every rule in the book. It had no laughter track. It didn’t need to. The storylines and the comedy was so compelling that it needed no “This is where you laugh” signal. It is the first “uncomfortable” comedy, dealing with embarassing and difficult situations, long pauses, and more realism than you can take. It also featured real-life celebrity guests as they appeared on the talk show, but also as they appeared behind the scenes. This gave the celebrity guests the opportunity to play a different version of themselves, especially play with their persona. Garry Shandling paved the way for Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office (UK and US), and Extras, that is to say the cool comedies. So now you know a little about Garry Shandling…
